Resurgent Africa
Learning to Compete in African Industry
This book examines the institutional roots of the persistent differences in economic performance of firms, industries and countries in Africa. It draws attention to the role of institutions in supporting technical change and shows how technological progress is central to competitiveness in a global context. The role of initial conditions such as levels of literacy and natural endowment, the structure of industry and resource endowment are also em…
The Gene Revolution and Global Food Security
Using the concept of innovation capacity, this book, using recent field data from countries in Asia and Africa, competently demonstrates how biotechnology can contribute to sustainable economic develo
Latecomer Development
The most important issue for development centres on the debate about the centrality of knowledge, technology and innovation to the process of economic development. While this much is broadly agreed, what is at issue is the precise mechanics of overcoming economic development challenges in different contexts. At the heart of it all is about how economies at different levels deploy the unending streams of information and knowledge to developmental …
Comparative Analysis of Innovation Capacity in Latecomer Countries
This chapter re-examines the key findings and perspectives arising out of the country case studies analysed within the sectoral systems of innovation framework that we coded in terms of innovation capacity in latecomer economies. The four country experiences for biotechnology capacity sketch out the complex landscape of both hope and distress for food security and economic development among latecomers. There are several strands of comparison that…
Learning Through Inter-Organisational Interactions
Systems of Innovation and Underdevelopment
This article examines institutions and their role in supporting technical change as part of the development process, and asks how institutions shape the system of innovation (SI). The context of underdevelopment exhibits distinct system characteristics that differ markedly from those found under advanced economic conditions and as such deserves close empirical scrutiny. SIs differ significantly under the two sets of conditions, leading to uneven …
Knowledge Networks and Technological Capabilities in the African Manufacturing Cluster
Clusters are characterised by two dynamic elements: the rates and types of technological learning, and the nature and intensity of networking. Firms in early industrialisation are largely imitative innovators drawing on a variety of formal and informal sources such as licensing and reverse engineering. There is, therefore, a significant correlation between firm-level technological capabilities and external knowledge networks. We define a knowledg…
